JPMorgan Chase & Co. (often shortened to JPMorgan Chase) is an American multinational banking and financial services holding company headquartered in New York City, New York. The company's origins can be traced back to 1799 with the founding of the Bank of the Manhattan Company, while the modern entity was formed in December 2000 through the merger of J.P. Morgan & Co. and The Chase Manhattan Corporation. It is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "JPM". As of late 2025, JPMorgan Chase employed approximately 318,512 individuals. The company reported revenue of $256.52 billion in fiscal year 2025 and has a market capitalization of approximately $795.63 billion to $808.74 billion as of May 2026, making it one of the largest banks in the United States by assets and market capitalization.
JPMorgan Chase offers a comprehensive range of financial products and services globally. These include investment banking (such as corporate advisory, mergers and acquisitions, sales and trading, and public offerings), private banking, asset and wealth management, retail and commercial banking, credit cards, mortgage loans, and insurance. The company operates through distinct segments, including its Investment Bank, Consumer & Community Banking (under the Chase brand), Commercial Banking, and Asset & Wealth Management.
In terms of patent litigation, JPMorgan Chase & Co. demonstrates a posture typical of a large operating company that primarily defends against patent assertion claims. The company's litigation record shows one tracked case where it appeared as a defendant and zero cases as a plaintiff. This indicates that it is generally a target of patent litigation rather than an entity actively asserting patents.
The single tracked case, Intellectual Ventures I LLC v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. et al., initiated in 2013 in the New York Southern District Court, highlights the company's defensive stance against known patent assertion entities. Intellectual Ventures I LLC is recognized as a non-practicing entity (NPE) that acquires and asserts patent portfolios.
Intellectual Ventures I LLC sued JP Morgan Chase & Co. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for patent infringement. The case was filed on July 26, 2013, and dismissed on October 2, 2013.
